Awaiting day 2 keynote start
John Gallant from IDG takes the stage
Surprise! Surprise! Kaviza wins best of show at Synergy. Oh and Citrix gave them a whole bunch of cash too *sigh* #citrixsynergy
AppDNA wins process improvement winner award. #citrixsynergy
Avistar wins workforce productivity award #citrixsynergy
Ooopsc Best of show winner was AppDNA, not Kaviza as I said earlier. My mistake.
Frank Gens from IDC will be taking the stage soon. #citrixsynergy
Frank suggests enterprise IT should look out the window and not just keep doing the status quo #citrixsynergy
#1 IT objective according to Gens: Improve info access #citrixsynergy
Common thread in IT is movement from physical/product-oriented to virtual/service-oriented. #citrixsynergy
Top 3 IT Game Changers: Mobility, Cloud Computing, Information Avalanche #citrixsynergy
Call me crazy, but I think everyone knows those 3 are game changers. #citrixsynergy
One billion mobile internet users last year #citrixsynergy
Controlling physical devices will be impossible, need to think of managing virtual environment. I wouldn't say impossible, but ok. #citrixsynergy
Gens saying cloud computing isn't new. Ellison would be so proud. #citrixsynergy
Collaboration and web apps are most likely to move to public cloud #citrixsynergy
Gens saying more people like to move to private cloud than public cloud #citrixsynergy
And most customers will adopt hybrid cloud (mixture of public and private) #citrixsynergy
7 Billion communicating devices, 700M social networkers and video is causing information avalanche #citrixsynergy
.8 Zetabytes of data were out there in 2009 #citrixsynergy
In 10 years there will be 35 Zetabytes #citrixsynergy
Enterprise will have role in two thirds of consumer data. Can anyone say privacy? #citrixsynergy
Aligning with game changers can accelerate IT goals #citrixsynergy
Focusing on physical resource is a doomed IT strategy. #understatementoftheyear #citrixsynergy
Gens is crazy my Windows for Workgroups 3.1.1 environment is rocking right now #citrixsynergy
Mark Templeton takes the stage #citrixsynergy
Theme of Mark's session is virtual datacenters #citrixsynergy
Mark suggests using Netscaler MPX and VPX to build web application fabrics #citrixsynergy
10,000 downloads of Netscaler VPX #citrixsynergy
75% of internet users are passing through Netscaler #citrixsynergy
Netscaler is psuedo SaaS model. Pay as you grow. More bandwidth, pay more. #citrixsynergy
I still question why pay grow and not auto-burst with true-up style payment? Make it really SaaS #citrixsynergy
Ahhh ok Netscale will support burst, that gets pretty close to the SaaS model I was thinking. But why make Burst an extra license cost??? #citrixsynergy
Netscaler for Hyper-V announced. #citrixsynergy
Netscaler for Hyper-V will be available in the Summer 2010 #citrixsynergy
How will Netscaler run as a Windows Service when it's FreeBSD based??? #citrixsynergy
18% of new servers will be virtualized this year #citrixsynergy
Tesco has 1,000 servers running XenServer #citrixsynergy
XenServer 5.6 officially out of beta. Release announced today. #citrixsynergy
Mark is touting the benefits of direct hardware access in Westmere for improvements in Netscaler platform #citrixsynergy
Snapshots and revert is a huge feature for XS 5.6 as is memory overcommit (for some) #citrixsynergy
Lew Moorman from Rackspace taking the stage #citrixsynergy
Rackspace is standardizing on XenServer. #citrixsynergy
Why move from Xen to XenServer? Because Citrix probably gave them a sweet deal lol. #citrixsynergy
Brad Anderson from Microsoft taking the stage to talk about Citrix / MS cooperation #citrixsynergy
